9. He should have known about Sibel Edmonds case
The FBI's not too fond of whistleblowers.

When U.S. troops raided the company at his urging, Vance and another American who worked there were detained as suspects by the military, which was unaware that Vance was an informer, according to officials and military documents.

Nathan Ertel, the American held with Vance, carried away military records that shed further light on the detention camp and its secretive tribunals. Those records include a legal memorandum explicitly denying detainees the right to a lawyer at detention hearings.


If troops raided the company at Vance's urging, how could they not know he was the informer? Something doesn't smell right. And I'd love to know who signed the legal memorandum denying Americans a right to a lawyer.
